Mylan Griggs, a 6‑foot‑3, 200‑pound wide receiver from the class of 2028, has already carved a name for himself in Michigan’s recruiting circles.
According to 247Sports’ composite rating, he holds an 89.97 score, placing him as the No. 45 wide receiver nationally and the seventh‑best player from his state.
His overall ranking sits at No. 299 among all prospects in the 2028 cycle, underscoring the breadth of interest he commands.
Spartans join a crowded field
Michigan State extended an offer to Griggs last June, joining a list that already includes Arizona State, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Kansas, Maryland, Miami (FL), Louisville, Missouri, Nebraska, Pitt, Texas A&M, Purdue, UCLA, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin and USC.
The Spartans’ early outreach reflects a strategic push to secure a talent pool that could bolster the program’s receiving corps for years to come.
Griggs, who describes himself as a “big‑play” receiver with a knack for stretching defenses, says the coaching staff’s genuine interest has made the university a frequent topic in his conversations with family and high school teammates.
A recruiting landscape in flux
With nearly 40 programs courting the prospect, the competition for Griggs is expected to intensify as official visits loom and senior season games approach.
Analysts note that his blend of size, speed and route precision could make him a versatile asset for any offense, whether as a deep threat or a possession receiver in the slot.
For Michigan State, landing a player of his caliber would not only enhance on‑field performance but also strengthen the program’s recruiting narrative in the Midwest, a region where the Spartans have historically cultivated strong pipelines.
